Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Betty and Mark Johnson
My husband, Mark, and I are retired but we love to travel, fish, hike and do a lot of volunteer work in the community. We are custodial grandparents of two grands, aged 12 & 10, who lost their parents.
Why they chose this property
Mark grew up in Illinois and I grew up in Idaho but both ended up in Juneau, Alaska. We spent 3 years looking for a home and when we found this one we loved it so much we bought it the same day. We believe we have one of the best places in the world to live, and we've seen a lot of the world. The location is beautiful, peaceful, beautiful views and a lot of birds and wildlife. We are 8 miles from downtown hustle and bustle so after a long day of touring you can come back to your home away from home and enjoy the peace and quiet.
What makes this property unique
The air and water are clean, you can sit outside and enjoy the quiet. The views are beautiful and because of the daily tides the view changes constantly. Close to everything but a million miles from the world.
